Leaving your bracelet the way as it is would be bad because it would cut off the blood circulation to your hand when worn, so you have to make an extension. To do this, go inside all of the bands shown, pulling a single band through them. Then pull a single band through that band as shown. Repeat this step until your bracelet can fit your wrist.

S-Clip or C-Clip

Put your clip on your bracelet as shown.

Fixing It Up

Pull your bracelet off your loom and take a look. The bracelet will look messy, put pull and push and tease and your bracelet will look better=)

Clip your clip to the end of your bracelet as shown.

Wear and Enjoy!
